Pale feet push up on cracked blue vinyl Always pick a seat closest to the bathroom Should the bulletproof vests meander by You'll be safe. Avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid. I always eat before I get on the train. Minutes later fingers are clawing at the inside. Standing well behind the yellow line Just before the wind pushes me back farther I always think about walking forward. Every ******* time. I don't feel safe on subway platforms anymore. Shoulders are grabbed And bodies press up against my back Hands way too close for it to be an accident. (Canceling the flight Felt awful and wonderful And final.) (You still won't want me.)
